About Wild Salmon Rivers

WSR takes you to the majestic wild salmon rivers of Kamchatka. Hundreds of miles from a city and a lifetime away from civilization.




Utkholok Camp



Wild Salmon Rivers offers anglers a unique opportunity to experience world-class trophy fly fishing and, at the same time, support the study and conservation of the richest diversity of salmon, trout, steelhead and char in the world.

With its origins in the 1994 Kamchatka Steelhead Project, a twenty-year project of the Wild Salmon Center in Portland, Moscow State University, and the University of Montana, WSR works to protect wild steelhead, trout, and other salmonids and their ecosystems in Kamchatka, Russia. The 800 mile-long, sparsely populated, Kamchatka peninsula produces up to 25% of the Pacific's salmon and represents one of the last chances to provide permanent protection for entire pristine salmonid ecosystems before they become threatened or extinct. These salmon and trout, locally adapted and untainted by human development, are the building blocks for future restoration efforts.

Wild Salmon Rivers is a stand alone, not-for-profit science and conservation organization incorporated in Washington State, with a field office in Kamchatka and main offices in Mill Creek, Washington.
